Am I bleeding the Clutch slave cylinder correctly?

Hi,

Trust me I do reverse all the time on fords, Gm's Honda's etc....
it works everytime. It is harder to bleed a clutch system then a regular brake system. You may have air trapped in the master cylinder or the slave. Is the bleeder screw on the slave mounted and pointed at the highest point? Is it level??
It does not take much to have air trapped at the opposite end of the master or slave. You can leave the bleeder screw on the slave open all day and keep topping it up and air will still be left in the slave or master.
You should try and borrow a Phoenix Injecter or somthing similar what it does it forces clean brake fluid from a bottle into the bleeder screw (slave) and pushes everything up into the master. You just have to keep an eye not to over flow the master. I use a Turkey Baster to suck up the fluid. You can google it to see how it works or try you tube.

Good luck and I hope I was some help.
